My spreadsheet of longer-term health implications from #COVID19 infection has surpassed 1,800 studies.
I'm trying (largely unsuccessfully) to reduce the time I dedicate to this. I think it's important we track all the cardiovascular, neurological, immune and other damage COVID does. But, I also feel as if these issues are well established (and widely ignored.)

@augieray thanks for your efforts, I was looking for something like that. I've read a lot of studies, but never started a spreadsheet...

Have you heard that vaccines cause autism?
At some point you just have to give up and accept that some people will remain convinced of something stupid no matter how much you prove them wrong.
Like how the 20+ year old internet skit of "what if Google were a guy" showed, "I have one thousand three hundred and twelve papers showing the opposite of your query and *one* showing what you queried" - "I knew it!" *grabs the one page*. - https://youtu.be/Cxqca4RQd_M?si=QoHGxeD67n7nsjWy&t=287 with timestamp. And there's an encore at 9:50.
I think you're right on both points: we should be tracking it, and "we" should not have to mean you.
@augieray SQL is right there.
@earsmeardius I have no idea what this means. What is the problem with a spreadsheet?
@augieray Depending on your use case, a spreadsheet might indeed be sufficient. Since you are recording details of 1800 studies, though, putting that information into a SQL database would allow it to be queried and analysed in a more systematic manner than doing a CTRL F and hunting through the list. I just remember during the worst of COVID, the NHS (iirc) tried storing case details in a spreadsheet and ended up losing records when the number of cases exceeded the capacity of the spreadsheet.
@earsmeardius let me see if I get this. You see someone who is taking thousands of hours to create an informative resource online, and you complain that it wasn't done the way you would do it. You find hitting control-f to be just too darn difficult. Here's an idea: YOU spend thousands of hours to review and share research studies and do it any damn way you want. Otherwise, STFU.
@augieray Oh. Well that comes across as a measured response, now doesn't it?
Disengaging...
